When 20 year old Frances "Frankie" McGrath hears someone say "Women can be heroes," it was a like a lightbulb went on inside. She decides to take her nursing skills to Vietnam as part of the Army Nurse Corps. What she endures while she is there, combined with forging lifelong friends and some love interests, forever changes the course of her life. The Women delves deep into the battlefields of Vietnam while also chronicling Frankie's return home and the years of adjustment that followed.
Truly immersive and so well written, The Women is an outstanding book of historical fiction. It sheds light on a unique time in our history and also the amazing service of those who served in the Vietnam War, nurses and soldiers alike. This story will stay with me for some time and I am thankful to have read it.
